We pick up prosthetic legs from all over the UK and ship them to West Africa, primarily The Gambia where they are fitted to amputees in a local mobility centre.

Harrison's fund

Harrison's fund

Harrison's Fund has one goal.
To get as much money as possible into the hands of the world's best researchers, who are working to find a cure for Duchenne.
It sounds like a horrible disease. And it is. Which is why we want to eradicate it.
We're different from many other Duchenne charities out there because we're focusing on treatment rather than palliative care.

So that, hopefully soon, more of those with Duchenne can grow into the strong men they're meant to be.
